This game is an absolute class favorite with my preschool yoga classes, and it's super easy to play! Pick a couple of yoga cards from the deck, hide them under the mats, and let the kids take turns picking colors. When they find a yogi, they get to try the pose.

If you like this game, here is another game my kiddos absolutely love playing: Kids Yoga Bingo Game for Preschoolers!

What’s Included:

✨ 11 Colored Yoga Mats (both gray and grey spellings are included)

✨ 72 Different Labeled Kid-Friendly Yoga Poses

✨ 72 Different Non-Labeled Kid-Friendly Yoga Poses

✨ Optional Decorative Backs

Recommendation: Print the product on cardstock and laminate the cards.

How to Play:

1. Place the printed yoga mats in front of you.

2. Say, “Turn around, turn around. Hide your eyes.”

3. Secretly hide 1-5 yoga pose cards under the mats while the children are facing away from you.

4. Have the children turn around to face you after you have hidden the cards.

5. Pick a child to go first and say, ”Yogi, yogi hiding under a mat. I wonder where you are at.” The child will then select a colored mat. Turn the mat over to reveal if there is a yogi hiding under the mat.

• If the child finds a yogi, the children will attempt the pose and the next child will then take his/her turn.
• If there is no yogi under the mat, the next child will take a turn.

6. The game continues until all the mats have been selected.
